Repair & paint

When can a dent be fixed without paint?

PDR brings the metal back to its original shape with no paint or filler. But does it suit every dent?

Paintless dent repair (PDR) uses special tools to gently push the metal back from behind until it regains its shape. The result: your factory paint stays untouched.

When does it work?

  • When the paint is intact, with no cracks
  • Hail, door dings and light knocks
  • When the back of the panel can be reached

And when is paint needed?

If the paint has cracked, or the dent is very sharp on a panel edge, a traditional repair with paint may be the better option. We then match the colour precisely so the difference does not show.

Send us a photo of the dent on WhatsApp and we will tell you if it can be fixed without paint.
